We used to come every week, but have digressed to only occasional customers. I'd say a visit to Revival and just apps/snacks at Brutopia would give you the best experience all around.
Coming into the restaurant alone, the first thing your waitress will do is tell you which brews they don't actually have available, as other reviewers have said. My group have also sent beers back on multiple occasions, saying they tasted "off" and "like the lines weren't cleaned". I'm not much of a beer drinker myself, so my personal two cents is to not deviate from the cocktail menu; if you order a vodka on the rocks, for example, they charge you $2.00 for ice alone. That makes half the cocktails on the menu cheaper, so you're better off not drinking as clean.
Food wise, I also agree with other reviews. It's not bad at all, yet I wouldn't recommend anything. I love me some brisket, but Brutopia's just barely hits the spot. It's basically the quality of your typical chain restaurant.
As far as service, 9/10 of the servers over the years have been great. Always polite, offering to ask the kitchen/bartenders about any questions you have, remembering regular orders, and being perfectly personable. We've had gaps between check-ins, but I attribute that more to under-staffing than the girls themselves. The only negative thing I can say is that one busy Saturday (I was there as one of two large, private parties -- with a full restaurant on top of it) my drink came clearly missing half the mixers/garnishes. When I mentioned it to the waitress she merely shrugged and brushed me off. I won't really blame her for being disengage at the time, but it was still disappointing.
Overall: 3/5

Service good, beer excellent. Shame is not all beer at Brutopia is availanle at Revival Brewery. Was slight mistake with one order, worked out in end, and took a bit to get sour cream for some reason. BBQ was excellent and the one hot sauce was great.

The place looks like it is going to close up any day now. Walls are bare and very few people at the bar. Menu looks like it is pretty much a burger joint now. All the cars in the parking lot were for the folks downstairs at Revival tasting room

I Hate to do this because of Love Revival Brewing, But this restaurant seriously needs a change in management. For such a perfect location, atmosphere and setup there is never anyone in this establishment. Went in for food and beer to watch the bruins (After 4 separate requests) the game never made it onto a TV. The ONLY (1) Bartender was also Host and waitress while the the manager (seemed to entertain friends) and the employees who seemed to have just ended shift were ZERO help when it came to questions. My wife and I love BBQ, Beer and local establishments. We want to love this place but they seem to disappoint EVERY SINGLE TIME. Sad day

Tasty beer, clean nice restaurant. In the basement you can do a tasting of the Revival Brewing beers which is an awesome laid back atmosphere. Prices are a bit higher than some other brew houses around, but they have some good specials if you're on a budget. Each week there is a "beer of the week" which is $3/pint or $10/pitcher. This week was a brown ale that was surprisingly good.
